Old man ThOs. Brown, who has been lying at deatl's door for two weeks. from some liver trouble, was accidently shot a few days since with Bolling's Bilious Bull lets. but fortunately, they struck his deceased liver, and, wonderful as 1t may seem, caused it to per form its duty with such rapid ity that the good old man was en- tireiy cured, as if by magic.

We learn heir assets foot up about s3O, O,00O; liabilities S2O, ,OOO. An unfortunate mistake caused the assignment. The report ol Bradstreet in St. Louis that they had sold out, which was untrue, caused their paper to go to pro test, and to avoid attachment and further tronble the assignment was made. Messrs. Woodbery and POrtis are both nice, honorable gentlemen, and we very much re gret their great misfortune, and hope all things will soon be put to rights and that they will resume business.

The Meaning of a "Boom.~

Do not listen to the man who proposes
to boom your business. An excessive
"boom" means working at high pressure
The ''margin' or factor OF safety be-
comes too small TO withstand the strain
and your boom becomes q burst bub-
BILE On the other hand should the boom
be carried out, reaction is sure TO follow.
The higher the ''boon" the lower the
''doom' will be TO which your business
descends. Booming" may well be com
pared with alcoholic stimulating. The
latter will make things hum for time.
but the reaction surely comes, and things
are equalized to a dead level. Then and
there are the doomed; and the stimu-
lated found wanting. Fcrce business with
conservative pressure. Il may not go fast
enough, but it viii surely reach the mark
if persistence handles the throttle-Bos-

Food of the Canary islanders.

The splendid physical development of
the Canary Islanders gives special interest
to their peculiar food. Five-siXths of the
inhabitants, according to DR.. c. F. Taylor
subsist almost exclusively upon fine
-four made by grinding roasted wheat,
corn Or barley. This is called gofio
Being already cooked. it requires no pre-
paration for eating except mixing TO any
desired consistency with milk. soup or any
suitable fluid. Gofio is delicious, whole
some, highly nutritious and very CON
venient 10 use. For these reasons. and
the important one that it seems to remove
q tendency to acidity OF the stomach, DR..
Taylor recommends the addition of this
food 10 our own already large variety

Russia's Hours OF Labor.

a report based upon an inspection Of
1874 factories in 125 different branches of
work IN Russia states that the hours Of
labor there vary from six to twenty, and
that in one or two special instances work
men were compelled TO labor twenty-four
hours uninterruptedly. Thes2 differences
are purely arbitrary and not controlled by
the kind of the work. In the same dis
trict in the same sort of work there is
sometimes difference of eleven hours in
the amount of work required in day in
the different factories s-New York Sun.

PoouIiarities of Pronunciation.

An observing Englishman who has been
travelling in New England says that "a
genuine Massachusetts man can ALWAYS
be detected by the marked way in which
he makes two syllables Of the word tun-
mel. He might hsve added that You can
often detect al EnglisSlnan by the marked
way in which he makes one syllable eut
ct that word. York Tribune.

a Blind Mans Flattery.

Paris has g very gallant blind man.
Seated at the corner Of projecting
doorway on the boulevard, just out Of
sight Of those who approach, he waits un-
til he hears the light, quick football of a
lady, and then steps out into view, hat in
hand, bowing his head, white with age,
and exclailns:
"Ah, madame, pity me! Have pity on
poor blind man who is deprived of the
privilege Of seeing you"
No woman, it is said, can resist this
plea.-Youth's Companion.

Any statement that the KENTUcK-
IAN is biased by political opinions in
its dealings with public officials is not
borne out by the facts. While this
paper has ever been staunchly DEM
ocratic, it has always been conserva-
tive in Its views and has never made
a personal warfare upon its political
opponents who occupied official
positions or sought political prefer
ment. 1t has taken occasion TO COM
mend the faithful discharge of duty
of both Republican and Democratic
officials, because when officers are
elected they should no longer be
looked upon as partisans, but as the
representatives of the whole people
In recent issue we spoke in COM
mendation of the attentive manner in
which the present county judge had
performed the functions of his office
but because we mildly criticised the
same official in our last issue, because
we honestly believed he had made 8
mistake in some of his decisions, We
are charged by some of his friends
with having been actuated by polite
al motives. This is not only untrue
but 1t is raising an unnecessary hub
bub about nothing. When a mar
accepts a public trust he becomes the
servant of the people and should ex
pect to be the object of constant pub
lie scrutiny. We have always ex
pressed our opinions about the officia
actions of public servants, whethe
they were Democrats or Republicans
1t has been our unpleasant duty
sometimes to point out the faults o
Democratic judges and other higl
officials and we see no reason VIII!
we should surrender this highes
privilege of a journalist because W,
could not approve of the decision o
his honor, the County Judge, In tn,
case of the coal thieves to which W,
alluded last week.

Saved By a Second Only.

Leggatt is the name of a Georgia
wife murderer who was to have been
hung last Friday at Reidsvile, in that
State, a little out-of-the-way town in
the extreme northern part and far re-
moved from all railroad and tele-
graphic communication Thursday
morning before day, his attorney,
william Clifton, received dispatch
while in bed at Savannah from Gov.
Gordon, respiting the condemned
man for 30 days. He was long way
off from his client, and had no way OF
communicating with the Sheriff of
the county where the execution was
TO take place. The time for the hang
ing too, had been fixed for an early
hour Friday and If anything was
to be done to save the criminals neck
it had to be done quickly. Clifton
Immediately took train to the near
est railroad station and then procured
buggy and horses, then started for
Reidsville, a distance of 40 miles. 1t
was late Thursday evening, there
were only the toughest roads, and
they mostly lay through dense woods,
while the darkness of the night made
it almost impossible for the faithful
lawyer TO see his way. He proceeded,
however, as fast as he could, and as
opportunity offered he dashed along
at furious rate. lie knew there
was only possibility of reaching his
client in time, and If horse should
fall or anything break, it was all up
with him. lie got to Reidsville about
IL o'clock the next morning, and saw
an immense crowd surrounding a
gallows tree. Upon il stood Leggett,
who had bid the throng before bin
farewell, the minister had uttered a
short prayer, the black cap had been
adjusted, his feet tied, the rope placed
about his neck, and he stood upon the
fatal trap, while the Sheriff had in
his hand Ratchet with which he
was just in the act of cutting the rope
which held the trap in place, when
Clifton, the attorney, dashed into the
crowd and shouted that he had a
message to him from the Governor.
The Sheriff stayed his hand and took
the telegram handed him. The rope
was Immediately taken from around
the mans neck, the cap removed and
he was taken back to Jail. The crowd,
unlike a recent gathering Of the same
kind at Henderson, in this State, in
stead of insisting upon hanging any
way, cheered the lawyer who had ar
rived so OPPORTUNITY and dispersed
in good order.
Verify, it all reads like romance
in the dispatches, but it is all true
